igb_read_nvm_eerd(9)

okay so welcome to the igb_read_nvm_eerd(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes bestie, we're doing EEPROM reads with the EERD register and it's lowkey iconic 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• igb_read_nvm_eerd — Reads EEPROM using EERD register. periodt. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the exact signature, no cap:

s32 igb_read_nvm_eerd (struct e1000_hw *hw , u16 offset , u16 words , u16 *data );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure, aka the main character struct 🫶
• offset — offset of word in the EEPROM to read
• words — number of words to read
• data — word read from the EEPROM

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Reads a 16 bit word from the EEPROM using the EERD register. That's the whole plot, bestie — slay 🌈
